Capacity planning is the process of projecting the capacity that the company will need for its future operations. For example, a manufacturing business may need to adjust its resource storage for the future, expecting increased demand for its products that the current warehouses cannot handle. Per Kiran, capacity utilization is the ratio of the company’s current production compared to its potential production. If the bakery makes 20 cakes per day, it utilizes 50% of its design capacity and 52.6% of its effective capacity.
Define capacity planning. Provide examples. A bakery’s design capacity is 40 custom cakes per day. Currently, the bakery is producing 38 cakes per day. Also, assume the bakery can make 20 cakes per day on average. What is the bakery’s capacity utilization relative to both design and effective capacity?
